Product Description

Review
"-'...she is a curious traveller with a good ear for dialogue and a wild way with words, wrapping her account of travels in the Pacific, Italy, Morocco and elsewhere in a vibrant poetry.' Anthony Sattin, The Sunday Times Travel section -'A sensual, harrowing, inspirational trip' Bestselling author Peter Moore" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
Laurie Gough manages to be both relaxed and inspiring, funny and touching, energetic and gentle all at the same time. A reassuring commentator on our bizarre world, Laurie appreciates and enjoys humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was overwhelmed , 5 Jan 2008
By R Morrell (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
by just how good this book actually is. I bought it as research for my own travel book, and am used to reading books very quickly and enjoying them, but this one stood out head and shoulders above the rest. Not only does Laurie write brilliantly, bringing her road trip across America alive, her insights are profound. She interweaves her trip with other memories from her magical travel experiences, a luminous canoe trip in the Yukon, a chaotic bus ride across Sumatra and many others. The stories are like beads, which glint whichever way you turn them. At the end of the trip not only has Laurie gained in understanding, she has realized why she loves to travel - and perhaps why it might be time to put down some roots. Together, with Jamie Zeppa she is an excellent young Canadian writer from Ontario, but they are both so much more than that, having depth and profundity. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.
